With its six en-suite bedrooms, this heavily beamed, impressive Grade II listed old red sandstone cruck-beamed barn stands tucked away in tranquil meadows, on the owners' 200-acre dairy farm. The barn enjoys magnificent views over the surrounding countryside towards the Forest of Dean. The medieval cruck-beamed wing, open to full height, was built in the 15th century and now makes up the living area with gallery. The heavily beamed 16th-century wing has been thoughtfully restored to provide comfortable en-suite accommodation. The barn is particularly suitable for family holidays and reunions, and the dining area is perfect for entertaining. There is a large mature garden where seating is provided in quiet spots to fully appreciate the views and bird life. Colourful trees and shrubs lead the way to a 1-acre games lawn (shared with owners) where croquet, garden skittles, sandpit and a children's play area can be enjoyed. There are walks from the door in this area of Great Landscape Value. Hereford (12miles) offers a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. The cider industry here is very prolific and enthusiasts should visit Bulmer's Cider Factory, King Offa Distillery and the Cider Museum.
